About PCR

 

Your Trusted Guide to Lifestyle Communities

Private Communities Registry, LLC (PCR) leads the way as the top online resource for real estate shoppers seeking amenity-rich, master-planned lifestyle communities. We understand that finding a home is about more than just number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and total square footage—it's about finding the perfect community to match your lifestyle.


Pioneering the Online Search for Lifestyle Communities

Even before the rise of Google, we recognized the need for a trusted and influential online resource for lifestyle-oriented homebuyers. That's why we launched our website, PrivateCommunities.com in 1996, becoming the original real estate portal focused on helping you find your dream lifestyle community.


Your Partner in Finding Your Perfect Community

In today's digital world, PCR is more valuable than ever. We understand that most home searches begin online.
